The Painter Man

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Gerry and Jon and they were fantastic! Gerry is a straight shooter, trustworthy and hard working. We were able to leave them a set of keys, and let them work unsupervised. Everything came out perfectly and within our deadline. We couldn’t be happier! Thanks.

I’ve had many interiors in different houses painted over the years. I have to say that Gerry is really really good. Talks with you a lot about what it is that you want and he’ll give you recommendations and ideas that he has and based on all of the experience he has, he has all well-​thought-​out ideas. Also he’s lived in San Diego forever and he knows all sorts of handy people to help you with different house needs Gerry is definitely the type of person you need to have in your back pocket when you need something done at the house

The Painter Man, simply stated is THE MAN!
Pleasant, easy to work with and incredibly nice Gerry and his crew were absolutely the pinnacle of professionalism. Not only did they paint our entire downstairs for an incredible price Gerry offered suggestions and helpful hints that resulted in much of the interior of our home looking brand new!
I HIGHLY recommend this company for any and all painting needs.

Gerry and Jon did an outstanding job painting the exterior of our house! They were neat, reliable and took great pride in their work. I had a few other bids but found them to be the best price. When the job was all done, we were extremely pleased with the outcome and I would highly recommend them to anyone!!! Thanks for the great job, Gerry and Jon… we will be calling again!

We wanted interior painted before we move in — Sent Jon my final colors Sunday evening around 9pm was already onsite Monday morning and they finished my project ahead of schedule with amazing details and quality work. I really appreciate the quality work from Jon & Gerry!

Very professional! Jon did the exterior of my house, and two main rooms in 2009. Excellent work. He just did my bathroom and all the doors inside my historic home and did an amazing job. Reliable. Honest. On time. Great to see painters that still take pride in their work and care about the job they’re doing!

If you want reliable, neat, meticulous to detail and a great work ethic then the Painter Man is who you want. Gerry and his son Jon and crew are outstanding and willing to work with your schedule. We would highly recommend them. We reviewed and interviewed three other companies and there was no comparison in how rigorous Gerry was on the detail and bidding of the job. We had the entire house painted and the job was outstanding. Gerry’s ability to aid in the color selection and final outcome was very helpful. We had other contractors working at our home at the same time and The Painter Man was very flexible. Do yourself a favor and check them out!

Gerry and his son Jon did a fantastic job painting my home. They were extremely helpful with picking out the perfect color. They were always on time and completed the work on schedule. They were fast, courteous, and ensured my 100% satisfaction with their work product. As a family owned and operated business, customer service and client satisfaction is #1 for The Painter Man.

This review refers to «The Painter Man» in Escondido. Email
. Office phone 858 225 9529. So I contracted to have my home painted by The Painter Man. Included in the contract was to use the top quality paint from the provider (there are 3 grade levels available). After the paint job, had to clean a smudge off the wall… when doing so the paint washed off down to the original paint color using warm water. When checking the spec number on the can, found that The Painter Man had used the lowest quality of paint available even though I paid for the most expensive. When contacting them on the matter, there was no response. You be the judge.

We specifically ask them to use the highest grade paint and they agreed. We even told them the paint we wanted. They switched the paint and used the lowest grade. We found out months later when we tried to wash a simple mark off the wall with just water. The old paint came shining through. These painters will suck you in and then dol only what works in their benefit. I wouldn’t even give them one star. On top of this, I did not find them (son/​father/​etc) very nice people.

We were referred to Gerry by our neighbor across the street with high praise. I had been wanting to get our cream colored ceilings painted a brighter white (darn ranch style home and it’s lack of light) as well as the exterior. In an effort to get more than one quote this time for a home project, we had called one painter to come out to quote us one day, and Gerry to come quote us on the next. The one painter flaked on us (must have gotten a bigger, better deal) and so, we decided to just see what Gerry had to say when he came and if his quote was out of control, then we would consider getting another quote just to see what the «ballpark» looked like. Gerry showed up on time for the inspection and was nice and polite. He likes to joke and has one of those East Coast senses of humor. We showed him the inside of the house for the ceilings first (they were three different colors of white) and he showed us which color of white would be best and only necessitate one coat of paint (as two coats would cost more). Outside, we discussed the color of the house and the color for the trim. He talked me out of any shade of red (for the trim– even if it was tasteful) due to the fade factor. Yes, the paint has UV protection in it, but reds just won’t wear well over time and would need to be repainted every 2 years rather than every 5 – 7 years. He also was very conscious of the neighbors on the block and the colors of their houses and making the point of not wanting to stand out like a sore thumb. He reiterated that he would paint the house any colors we wanted, but his input from his experience was wise. We had never had a house of our own painted before, so we needed some direction. After reviewing the fan deck of colors for another choice of trim and talking about the merits of each, we wrote down the colors and codes we liked and made a plan go get some pints of the paint to test them on the house before making the decision. We got the quote for the ceilings and the house about 5 days after he had been out to inspect. We had him booked about a week and a half later.
The power wash was on Friday (even our sunporch that wasn’t going to be painted, which was so nice). They came out on a Saturday and painted the ceilings in our house in record time (about 4 hours). The ceilings are much, much brighter and there were no drips and all of the edges were crisp and clean. Everything was treated with care and covered. They are immaculate workers. They started the outside of the house on Monday and it only took 2 days. We had a miscommunication about some trim (my fault) to be painted and the rest of the trim was done within 48 hours of my call. I would hire them again over and over. They are good, trustful guys who are respectful and walk their talk. Initially, we were worried they wouldn’t want to do the job at our house because we’re lesbians and they are obviously Christian men (they have a Bible verse on their business cards, and never mind that we are Christian ourselves), but they treated us with respect and gave us what I consider a very fair quote and a stellar paint job.
